Thank so much for continuing to put out these videos! was pretty lost when it came to cooking on my Ninjawoodfire, but your videos helped me figure it out. I love that you test out various recipes on it. Those wings look great. Keep it up!

Hey thank you!

Looks great. If you want to add a bit of crispiness, besides making sure that you pat the wings extra dry, add some baking powder to the mix and toss. It works best tossed naked, but still works when tossed altogether.

Right on! Thanks!

I do smoked wings at the same temp and time. They come out perfectly but I do them on the grill pan, not the air crisper basket. We love them. So good.

Yeah I think I might just use the grill grate next time.

Thank you for all your recipes on this grill. Because of you, I went out and purchased one. My first attempt was these wings. The process was exactly as you demonstrated. Through experience, I never use the BBQ rubs. I find less is more and usually go with simple salt and pepper. The way I made these: I used a little over 3 lbs of drummets and wings. They were already thawed. About 21-24 pieces I used a mixture of baking POWDER and cornstarch as a coating. (1tsp of each for every pound of meat) I mixed four teaspoons of each in a separate bowl. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Pat wings dry and place in a bowl. Make sure the skin on the wings is covering the meat and not pulled back. Add the flour mixture and mix the wings by hand to coat. Place an air fry basket in the smoker. Add Pecan pellets to the hopper. Select the air crisp mode. Press the wood fire button. Set temp to 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Let the grill go through the ignition and preheat process. (about 5-7 minutes) Place wings skin side up in the basket. Close the lid and smoke/air fry for 10 minutes-open the lid. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes-open the lid. Flip and cook for 5 minutes. They were awesome by themselves. Otherwise, coat in your favorite sauce. *one of the advantages of not using a rub is the fact that they will not darken as much during the air fry process. (usually because of the sugar in the rub)

Hey morning CJ! Love my woodfire!

For crispy wings, the wings need to be as dry as possible. Use baking powder (else you can use baking soda), and skip the oil. Also, put the wings exposed in the fridge for a hour so that the wing can resorb any liquid that will be drawn out when the rub/seasoning is added.

Another great idea.

This may seem like a dumb question, CJ, but after 10 minutes, when you turn the chicken wings at the halfway point, is there a way to pause the timer, while you are turning the wings, so that you get the full 20 minutes of closed lid cooking time?

I got crispy wings in my NWG regular but when I switched to a NWG XL it didn't work. Don't know why. Will try baking soda next time.

Can you use this recipe in the Ninja Woodfire "Oven"? Do I have to adjust to make any adjustments to the oven settings because I am using the oven instead of the grill? I've been looking at your great recipes for the grill and have been wondering about the difference in settings since I have the oven not the grill.
